Eddie wants to fight

Sometimes when someone breaks your things, getting angry feels easy. When Eddie gets upset, his first thought is to fight. But Eddie soon discovers that feeling angry doesn't mean he has to use his hands.

Eddie Wants to Fight is part of The Eddie Series, a collection of children's books inspired by the everyday situations children experience as they learn to navigate friendships, feelings, choices, and growing up.

Author and teacher Shauna Boatwright pulls inspiration from real-life moments and the kinds of situations children face every day. Through Eddie's experiences, children are encouraged to recognize their feelings, think about their choices, and discover better ways to handle difficult situations.

The book also includes SEL discussion questions designed to extend the conversation beyond the story. Parents and teachers can use these questions to help children talk about anger, problem-solving, self-control, and what they can do when big feelings take over.

Because sometimes children don't need to be told how to feel. They need a safe place to talk about what they can do with those feelings.
